Evolving Ghost System: Phantom Universe Expansion Pack

Chapter 12: Ultimate Midnight Ruler

[Welcome to Midnight King's Haunted House!]

[Difficulty level: F-]

[Several Monsters will attack you! Defeat the previous high record in order to see the Midnight King!]

[Current record: 1 minute :56 seconds]

[Please wait your turn to enter.]

"Are you serious?" Harvard coughed and watched a child bitch slap a small monster called an Orange Bee Man. It was really just an NPC dressed in a bee costume.

[Orange Bee Man] (NPC)

[Level 3]

[Inner thoughts; 'This is the worst modda fudding job ever! Somebody just kill me! Kill me!]

"Hah, I'm so glad you took me here today." May rolled up her sleeves. "I got to rob a child! Now I can finally be an assassin!"

"Miss give her back her lollypop! Please!"

"Never!" May Tape tossed it in her mouth! "I'll pay you twenty lograms to let me steal it! It's wet with my germs now! It will never taste the same again!"

"I'm sorry. She's trying to be an assassin," Harvard tossed out twenty Lograms and tossed them at the father of the small child. They both had blonde hair and the same white suit on, and both looked like their hearts had been robbed from the cradle. "However, I don't think paying for an over priced lollypop will count for completing your mission!"

"Next! Next in line!" The man at the front of the line opened the silver turnstyle and let Harvard enter in by himself. "Miss! You'e been specially selected to meet the Midnight King! No need to wait in line!"

"Really?!" May Tape tossed the lollypop into the boys hair. "Yes, you can have it back kid."

"I'll get revenge!" The little boy held up his fist and tossed the blue lollipop out of his hair. "Your just like the bullys in my school! I'll make you all pay!" The little boy pointed at Harvard and said "You two asshole" as he walked inside. He couldn't believe it, the girl that couldn't steal a penny got invited to meet the Midnight King.

"Hurry up. This is Orange Bee Man's last shift. He's a little bit tired."

"I'm hitting back this damn time! Come at me motha fudda! I'll get you!"

Harvard took a deep breath and pulled out his slime conqueror's sword. It was time. It was time to set the new record!

Swoosh!

Harvard smacked the orange bee man right across the jaw into another bee hiding behind a pillar. The room had a few pillars with bees running between them. There was also a funny sun backdrop on a cheap cloth with a few badly painted monsters on them.

'Cheap! This place is seriously Cheap!' Harvard kicked another Orange Bee Man in the face. "You guys are ripping people off! This is a travesty!"

"Over here! Man!" A level 10 NPC in a bee costume tossed a dagger at Harvard. "You'll pay! You'r going to pay!"

"Max speed!" Harvard arrived and kicked the NPC in the face. "Who's next! Bring them at me!"

"It's a small ride. Congrats on the new record." The ride operator smiled and pointed Harvard to behind the cheap badly drawn sun picture. One of the monsters had a single eye that had been drawn crooked and it looked pretty funny. "The Midnight King will meet you now. Just go past the curtain and upstairs to the second floor."

"Thank you!" Harvard cleared his throat and looked back at ten passed out men in orange bee costumes. A few had bad bruises on their cheeks. "You guys did a wonderful job! I appreciate your work!"

"Screw you, man!" Harvard smiled and ignored the bees.

He walked through the curtain and found himself inside of a rundown mansion with a bannister that led up to the second stairs. To his surprise, a beautiful woman, though, seemed to be crying in the corner. He looked at her to examine her condition.

[Count Victoria] (1st Noble)

[Level 85]

[Reputation: Blood Thirsty Murderer]

"I-I think I'll avoid her," Harvard whistled and walked up the stairs. "Now where the hell is May?"

###

"If you want to steal, you have to deceive your victims!" A man with long white hair that went well past his legs nodded his head with a smile. He had on a black suit and a large monocle covering both of his eyes that balanced on his nose. "Now try and rob me again, but this time wiht more effort!"

"Ywes!" May nodded her head. "I'll make sure to use my chest more this time!"

"What did I walk into?" Harvard pushed open the door to the small study on the 2nd floor. "I'm sorry, May. I'll come back later!"

"Stop! Come in! Come in! My new student is working hard to rob me! Maybe she should practice on you first!" the Midnight King shook his head. "Remember, use your weapons! Keep his eyes occupied!"

"Hoho, my weapons are distracting aren't they?" May Tape walked over to Harvard and smiled. "Don't look at my hand Harvard. Look at the white shirt."

"You're going for my back pocket. You failed!" Harvard shook his head. "Anyways, Midnight King. Wait, where did he go."

"This is how you steal," The Midnight King tossed a lollypop out of Harvard's back pocket. Wait that wasn't even his! "I got your lollypop back and came back just in time to put it in Harvard's pocket and steal it!"

[Midnight King]

[Level 156]

[Temperament: No one knows]

'How does my system not know his temperament! Are you kidding me?' Harvard took a deep breath. "Anyways, Midnight King. Have you heard of the Ultimate Midnight Ruler Class?"

"I do. I take it you're here to kill me?" The Midnight King quickly drew a dagger and put it against May's peach neck. "Don't try! I'll kill her first!"

"I-I wouldn't dream," Harvard's eye twitched in disbelief. "I-I just got a quest. I had to find you."

"Oh, well, May. Go steal some candy from children!"

"Ywes!" May Tape rushed out the door and bowed. She seemed to have changed. When did she change. She had on a green dress before and an orange dress now. He watched her beautiful body run down the hallway before Harvard shook his head.

"Anyways, can you help me become a Midnight Ruler?" Harvard gently bowed his head. "Please, I'll do any quest you want."

"Sure, however, just warning you! There will be a long chain of quests that have to be completed! You'd have more fun watching paint dry." the Midnight King held out his hand and shook his head. He now had two lollipops in his hand. Where did the second one come from? "It-it's worth it in the long run, but terrible in the short run!"

"I'm sure it can't be that bad," Harvard laughed. "I was going to have to rob 100 people for this other quest. How bad can it be?"

###

"Damn, this is bad!" Harvard opened the quest prompt! "This is a thousand times worse!"

[Quest Update: Unlock the Ultimate Midnight Ruler]

[The midnight ruler is a person that will be able to rob a person blind without them knowing! He can appear in two places, and steal from children without dropping a sweat! Changing items stats as well? It's totally possible! You can never underestimate his abilities! He can do almost everything if no one is around to see it!]

'What the hell does that mean. Can do almost everything if no one is around to see it.' Harvard scrolled down to the requirements.

[Rob 1,000 Uncommon items]

[Rob 10000 Common items]

[Rob 50 Rare items]

[Rob 1 Noble's Wife] (Just kidding]

[Rob 1 Noble's safe]

'Screw this. I'm definitely not doing it! I'll just go to Central City after I become a Phantom Hand. I'll just rob 100 people first, and see what happens.'

###

Four weeks later,

Harvard walked into the Black Tavern. He had a large white that extended well passed his waist. He had a black hood on his body, and scared away all the paying customers.

May Tape put down a pint of alcohol that she stole for free and smiled at Harvard. She'd gotten the regular Midnight Ruler class three weeks ago. All she had to do is buy a lollypop, and she was all set.

"How many items left?" Sylvia asked? "How many more rare items."

"Zero, I got them all," Harvard slammed down an empty glass. "All I need to do is rob one noble! I'm almost there! I'm almost to the finale!"

"Ugh, I don't feel so good," May almost fainted after dripping one sip of alcohol. She fell onto Harvard's lap and smiled when looking up into his eyes. "Hehe, wow, you're so handsome when I'm drunk! Don't take advantage of me o'kawie?"

"She said okay. I understand it," Slyvia pointed at the map. "Unfortunately, Harvard, most players are already passed Central Cty! You're waiting a lot of time on this one mission!"

"To be king, you sometimes must be left behind! Time to rob a Noble's safe! I also have to see your father so it will be a two in one stop!"

Harvard had gotten closer to Sylvia in the last few weeks, and she sort of let him stalk her, sort of. She had qualified for a play called The Golden Rose. Her father was going to sneak in tomorrow, but he already told her about it.

[Quest Complete: Backstab Count Silvester!]

[+1000 Experience]

[One key to Count Silvester's safe]

'Now, all I have to do is when he goes out tonight get passed his wife! I'm sure it will be easy!' Harvard smiled and rubbed back May's beautiful brown hair had a few pieces of candy in it from kids that attacked her. He ignored it and gently dropped her on the bar. "Heh, you ready for your play tonight, Sylvia?"

"Slyvia? Where'd you go?" Harvard shook his head and walked towards the exit. "Whatever! Tonight will go really well! I'm sure it will go fantastic!"
